Hello,

On Fedora11 (64 bits), working in graphics mode, the sceeensaver
runs ! Example:

Tasks: 214 total,   2 running, 212 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie

gears is one of the screesavers. Why is it activated when I am working.
There is not other Xsession opened, no other user, and nothing on the 
screen (ie. gears) !
It looks like that it is only runnning in background and consumming PCU.
I can easy kill the process, but after 5 minutes again another one is
going to run (in background like hypertorus) even if I am working !

Is the screensaver inapropriatedly configurated ?

Thank for your ideas.
